another direction she slyly but rapidly
took stone and placed it IN her mouth.

do. Calling for a messenger, sent for
our business manager and told him what
had happened. Without an instant's de.
lay he said: Madam, you have made n
mistake. You have one of our diamonds
in your mouth. Will you return It with
out an exposure?' The next moment she
gave q gulp. and 1 knew the gem had
gone. She had swallowed it. OF course
we were in a dilemma. The lady became
indignant, and threatened suit and vio-
lence at the hands of her husband. 4"

a written explanation to the husband.
The next day he paid us visit. He said
that he believed there was mistake, but
that he could not afford an exposure"

EY ALICE E. NEAL.
Nay, TO not wonder that her eyes grow dim.
Though lately on his boiSt'rous play they smiled.
As, Graded softly by her evening hymn.
The mother watches o'er her only child
With that long, earn est. and mpassioned gaze
Which so much hope which so much fear betrays
Like the Madonna, mot her of our Lord,
She :'hiieth many things in her heart:
Bright fairy visions for his future stored
Which unto none her lips will e'er impart,
Not even him to whom her faith is given
Who shares her love with his fair boy and Heaven.
But cruel thoughts Of paths his feet may tread
Thorny with trials-cast shadow now,
As to her heart she clasps that dear young head
Or parts the soft locks from his noble brow.
And fears that sin, with deep and deadly stain.
May brand the child that in her rms hath lain
Then, silently rs falls the gentle dew,
For which all day the fading blossoms p:ned,
or as the evening wind comes ripping through
The clustering foliage o'er the lattice twined
Her thoughts ascend to One whose power save
Who Is her care this priceless treasure gave.
Oh, child i'll after years thy mothers PRAYER
May bring thee blessings when thy heart is faint
When restless murmurings and wild despair
Wiring from thine angushed soul wild COM

Then thank thy God, who in thine infancy,
A Christian mothers love vouch,afed to thee
